The day had to come. Just as you can monogram a tank top and paint your own Thanksgiving serving platter, so, too, can you design your own handbag. It’s a budding industry, appealing to those who want something unique and particular, right down to a customized strap length.

Or get that real one-of-a-kind photo bag. Now showing designs that are chic rather than campy. See photo bags for details.

The Wall Street Journal recently rated five of the top online do-it-yourself purse sites (“The New Bag Designer: You” by Catalog Critic Elizabeth Blackwell, May 12, W9C). The article is a handy guide, as the design-your-own bag sites are somewhat tough to find. Be warned, there are no returns on these purses and a majority of the styles lean quite preppy. More to the point, perhaps, one is not really doing a lot of designing, but picking out a handbag style from the selection of available models and then selecting the fabric (in most cases). Some designers also let you select the handles/straps, lining, and other optional features (e.g. pockets, zippers) you want. And, presto, some three weeks later, your new best friend arrives in the mail.

Charming purses, very girly. It is easy to pick up a set here, since there are a lot of smaller cosmetic bags as well. Be sure to check the dimensions listed and make sure you have a correct idea of how big or small the purse will be. For the chic mamans, the e-boutique also features a baby line of diaper bags, changing pads, and matching burp cloths.

And if you need a reason for a 1. purse and a 2. party, combine them into a purse party. Anna Williams helps hosts these with representatives country-wide. Read more about their purse parties.

Woopsy-Daisy
Designer, sewer and mom Amy Vaughn launched her business when she made her own diaper bag that garnered as many compliments as her cute baby. Soon, she was making bags for friends and branched out from diaper bags to purses and some children's clothes. Styles are very mom-friendly and girlish.

Do It Yourself Handbags - It's All in the Bag

Here's the amazing Capri Sun Purse by Avalon of Annapolis. She makes her own bags that sometimes show up at the charming boutiques of this super charming little town:










Do It Yourself Handbags - It's All in the Bag
This felted bag was made from a pattern on MagKnits that I modified. I knitted the bag from Cascade 220 yarn and felted it in the coin-operated washing machine in my apartment building. The yarn cost $6 and four trips through the washer were $4 -- can't beat a $10 purse! I have vague plans to line it and possibly add a fastener, but it looks good and works just fine as-is.

HELP! I have broken my sewing machine repeatedly - got the needle and bobbin stuck while sewing overly thick seams. I took my machine to repair place and was told that it wasn't me, it was the machine - a Pfaff hobby something. But I think it is me.
